Is it possible to Raze the 2nd capital?
I've annexed the American capital not knowing he had another city. I have no intrest in the 2nd one so I'd like to raze it, however it became his new capital, does the same "no razing capital" rule apply?
Best Answer
Yes, you can raze a civlization's "second" capitol, i.e. the city that the capitol is moved to once you capture their original capitol. You can't raze a civilization's original capitol, because a domination victory means "owning all civlizations' original capitols."
To find out whether a city is an original capitol, go to the Victory Progress screen. (It's one of the options when you click on the scroll icon near the upper-right corner.) In the Domination section, you can mouseover each civilization's symbol, and the title-text will tell you what that civilization's original capitol is, and who the current owner is. (Alternatively, you can simply memorize the name of each civilization's capitol city; it's always the same, unless you've been renaming cities. So Germany's capitol is always Berlin.)

Answer 2
No. The "no razing the capital" rule exists for game balance. It makes it so that a nation can't be completely locked out of a domination victory because their original capital was razed. Their new capital has no meaning for domination victory conditions, so it can be raised as usual.
